Once you see something like [1/2654] as it starts upgrading, you quickly
get an idea that it might be lunch time.
Well, good. So I know it didn't take longer than it should have.
It didn't take quite as long to use the fedora-upgrade script that uses
yum directly. But that other method (F17->F18) didn't seem to leave
things as "clean" as I would have liked. This did--so far.
It's just that, last time, too many people complained the fedup left
them high and dry. Not so many complaints this time, so I gave it a shot.
